Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox-esque sync folder

Prerequisites:

  • One or more clients running a UNIX-like OS. Examples are given for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, although all software components are available for other platforms as well (e.g. OS X). YMMV
  • A cheap Ubuntu 12.04 VPS with storage. I recommend Backupsy, they offer 250GB storage for $5/month. Ask Google for coupon codes.

Software components used:

  • Unison for file synchronization
  • EncFS for folder encryption

Registration of user and account: a series of gists which show a way to handle registration where multiple models need to be created and saved.

Registration of user and account

We often need to register both a user and an account at the same time. A popular approach to this is to load up on active_model callbacks but that is a route to future problems. It also encourages far to much coupling to the framework itself.

This approach uses a hexagonal / ports & adapters approach separating out domain logic from Rails. We are using a fewadvanced techniques here.
